After the first one Ye Xin killed two more and came out of the swamp with three boars on his back, since he had gotten more powerful than before he found out that it wasn't hard carrying three bodies on his back.
He felt that it was effortless.
"My strength has increased a lot." He thought and looked at Hong Hai with a proud expression.
Seeing his master happy, Hong Hai swirled in the air and then rubbed his head against Ye Xin's arms.
"Haha... You are quite powerful, I think we can pass the sect entrance exam and at least get a low-grade sect." Ye Xin was happy with today's performance.
They had killed three boars effortlessly, and he was certain that with this level of strength, he could at least get a low-grade sect.
He knew that not many people in the village could hunt three striped boars in an hour. The ones that could were already selected by a sect and had left the village.
Soon enough they exited the wilderness, Ye Xin de-summoned the squid and taking in a deep breath he moved towards the village.
Although he got many looks on his way because of the three boars on his back, no one tried to mess with him, as although the boars looked impressive, their market value was not much and it wasn't impossible to catch three striped boars if one stayed patient.
However, no-one knew that Ye Xin caught these boars in under an hour, if news got out then someone would come looking for trouble to find his secret.
Soon Ye Xin reached in front of a butcher shop and entered, he could see a fat bald man with a dark beard sitting on the counter, he had a wide smile on his face as if he was thinking some inappropriate thoughts.
Ye Xin came near him and coughed. And it was only after that the butcher broke out of his daydream and quickly stood up. When he saw that it was Ye Xin the butcher relaxed again and sat down on the chair.
He looked at the boars behind Ye Xin and nodded. "Looks like you got good game today." He said with an approving look.
"Nothing much, I was just lucky." Ye Xin smiled.
"I won't give you extra money if you act humble." The butcher snorted and laughed. "I will give you thirty copper coins for the three." He said.
Ye Xin nodded at his words, this was the market rate for the striped boars.
"I wanna sell only two." Ye Xin removed two of the boars from his back and placed them on the floor.
The butcher took in a deep breath and looked at the boars, and then suddenly his eyes narrowed. "How did you kill them?" He asked with a curious look on his face.
Ye Xin's heart suddenly skipped a beat when he heard the butcher's words. He forgot the fact that he had killed the three boars by snapping their necks.
Although killing striped boars was not hard, snapping their necks was something else. It required a high amount of strength.
Ye Xin's mind started running at full pace and after a minute he took in a deep breath and a calm expression appeared on his face.
"I trapped them and then snapped their neck with a rope and a stone, I hung them from a tree." He said.
Butcher's eyes narrowed even more when he heard his words. "Their skins don't fetch any extra money even if they are not damaged. You know that right?" He raised his brows as he looked at Ye Xin.
Ye Xin smiled at his words, "I was just testing a new technique." He said.
The butcher listened to him and turned silent, and only after a minute he took in a breath and nodded.
"Ok," He took out twenty copper coins from the drawer and handed them to Ye Xin, "Leave them there, I will take care of them." He said.
Ye Xin took the money and with a slight bow, he left the shop. There was a relieved expression on his face. "Next time I have to make sure to cut them before selling." He thought and then started moving towards his house.
After reaching in his hut, he skinned the boar and cooked some meat for himself while placing the remaining in the salt container.
Just as he finished eating, knocks resounded on the door and Ye Xin understood who it was.
He quickly opened the door, and Gai Luo quickly came in. "Let's go." He said.
Ye Xin nodded, "Let me finish cleaning up and then we can leave." He said.
"I don't have patience for that, do all that after we come back, for now, we are going to buy the spot!" Gai Luo grabbed Ye Xin's hand and pulled him out of his hut.
Ye Xin tried to resist but in the end, he could only give up in front of Gai Luo's persistence.
About fifteen minutes later they were just outside the northern gate of the village, there was a big open ground there and many camps were set up all around. These camps were from the capital, and this was the site to buy a spot in the Beast Taming Ceremony.
As they were moving suddenly three guys appeared in front of them, they were wearing red robes and had menacing looks on their faces. There were even swords on their belts.
"Give us your money, or die!" The guy standing in the middle said as he took out his sword. He looked at Ye Xin and Gai Luo with disdain on his face.
Both Gai Luo and Ye Xin stopped in their tracks and looked at the three with frowns on their face.
Ye Xin looked around and found that the two guards who were standing at the gate ignored them. And even the other villagers ignored them.
The other people were looking at them with pity on their faces.
Ye Xin could understand that the guards don't take any actions if the villagers are outside the village gates. But the other villagers were also ignoring them.
Gai Luo looked at their robes and then his eyes suddenly landed on the crest on their chest. "This... They are from Bloodsword Village!" He said in a slightly terrified tone.
"Blood sword Village?" Ye Xin hasn't heard about it.
"It's one of the top villages in our kingdom and they train in both sword and beast taming. But why are they pillaging here? They must have come here to take the Taming Ceremony and the Sect Exams." Gai Luo murmured.
Blood Sword village was well known throughout the kingdom, it was said that the people of this village are brutes and are extremely vicious.
'Maybe that's the reason why no one is interfering even after seeing a broad daylight robbery.' Ye Xin thought and gulped his saliva.
He had no money on him, but Gai Luo was carrying three gold coins, and that was a huge sum, it was akin to ten years of saving for normal villages like them.
"We don't have any money on us!" Gai Luo said while gritting his teeth.
"You think we are stupid, you little shit?!" The guy in the middle snorted and directly slashed his sword towards Gai Luo without warning.
Gai Luo saw the cold blade coming towards him and his heart skipped a beat, the sword was too fast. 'I can't dodge it!' He screamed internally and closed his eyes.
However what he expected never happened and after a second he opened his eyes again to see that the blade was stopped in the way.
A red-coloured tentacle was holding the guy's hand.
When Gai Luo saw the squid he relaxed a bit, he knew that it was Ye Xin's pet.
Ye Xin on the other hand was sweating bullets. If he hadn't stopped that sword in time then it would have slashed through Gai Luo.
"We are already tamers, we only have ten copper coins, take them if you want." Ye Xin said and pulled out ten copper coins from his pocket.
When the red-robed guy saw the squid holding his hand his eyes squinted. A disgusted expression appeared on his face and he shook his hand trying to get out of the squid's grip.
However, he found out that the squid was extremely strong and it was hard for him to get free.
'This... Squid! It's powerful!' The red-robed guy thought and looked at Hong Hai with wide eyes.
His other two accomplices came forwards and pointed their swords at Ye Xin. "It doesn't matter! Since you have dared to stop our boss Luo, you are gonna die now!" They said and got in an attacking stance.
"Stop, it's useless wasting time on them, they are already tamers, I doubt that they are carrying anything good on them. Let's not waste our swords on them." Boss Luo suddenly said before his lackeys could do anything.
Ye Xin listened to his words and sighed in relief. He ordered Hong Hai to release Boss Luo and after that, he smiled at Boss Luo.
"Sorry for the misunderstanding." Ye Xin bowed slightly.
Boss Luo Looked at him and snorted, he then turned around to leave. "Let's go, guys, the villages here are pathetic." He said.
The other two followed him while glaring daggers at Ye Xin and Gai Luo.
"You guys are lucky." They commented and left.
Only after they were a hundred meters away did Ye Xin and Gai Luo relax.
"Thanks bro, you saved my life." Gai Luo looked at Ye Xin with gratitude.
Ye Xin stayed silent for a moment and then smiled, "Don't worry about it. Let's go and get you a spot." He said and then both of them moved.
In the distance, Boss Luo was walking with an unsightly expression on his face. He looked at his wrist which was now blue because of blood clotting. It was the same place the squid had caught him.
'That guy. He would have snapped my hand if I didn't stop these two fools. I have to be careful of him.' He thought and looked at the two lackeys behind him with a disdainful look on his face.
